Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gas turbine for aircrafts, especially to a jet engine, with air-cooled turbine blades whose cooling air is taken off either directly or indirectly from a compressor stage.
  • gas turbines With such types of gas turbines, one aims at an increase of the output by an increase of the turbine inlet temperature of the operating gases.
  • limitations are imposed thereon by the heat resistance of the available materials.
  • the use of strongly compressed air for the improvement of the blade cooling results in a favorable pressure drop for the cooling air stream, however, on the other hand, it reduces the cooling effect by the heating of the cooling air connected with the compression.
  • the present invention has as its purpose to eliminate this shortcoming and to enable an output increase of the gas turbine by an effective cooling of the turbine blades.
  • This is realized according to the present invention by a heatexchanger with closed circulation, whose heat-absorbing part is arranged in the cooling air channel between the compressor and the turbine rotor.
  • the heat-exchanger may be so arranged according to the present invention in the gas turbine that the heat-absorbing part of the heat-exchanger is arranged in an annular space between the rotor shaft and the combustion chambers, which part is connected on the one hand, with the compressor outlet diffusors and, on the other, with the blades at least of the first turbine stage.
  • Oneobtains with this arrangement highly compressed air for the purpose of blade cooling, which is able to absorb a sufficient amount of heat and therebeyond produces a good pressure drop.
  • Theheat-releasing part of the heat-exchanger i.e., the part of the heat-exchanger that gives off heat
  • the heat-releasing part of the heat-exchanger which gives off the heat is arranged in the bypass channel. This arrangement makes possible with slight additional structural expenditures a favorable heat transfer to the air flowing in the bypass channel.

  • a further object of thepresent invention resides in a gas turbine for aircrafts which allows a good cooling of the blades also with a strongly compressed cooling air.
  • object of the present invention resides in a gas turbine for jet engines which results in a relatively slight structural weight and small dimensions of the turbine for the relatively high output of the turbine.

  • the heat-transferring or heat-releasing part 29 of a heat-exchanger 30 also with closed circulatory system is accommodated in the bypass channel 33 surrounded by a jacket or casing 31 and delimited inwardly by a housing 32.
  • the heat-absorbing part 34 is arranged, similar as in the example according to FIG. 1, in an annular space 35 between the combustion chambers 36 and a hollow shaft 37.
  • the hollow shaft 37 connects a high pressure compressor 38 with a highpressure turbine 39.
  • a shaft 40 for a low pressure compressor 41 and a low pressure turbine 42 is extended through the hollow shaft 37. Lines 43 and 44 connect the heat-absorbing part 34 with the heat-releasing part 29 of the heat-exchanger 30.
  • the ducted-fan-jet engine partially illustrated in FIG. 3 corresponds in its essential construction to that of FIG. 2.
  • a shaft 46 for a low-pressure compressor (not shown) and a low-pressure turbine 48 as well as a hollow shaft 49 surrounding the shaft 46 for a high-pressure compressor 50 and a high-pressure turbine 51 are rotatably supported in the housing 45.
  • Reference numeral 52 designates rotor blades and reference numeral 53 guide blades of the last stage generally designated by reference numeral 54 of the high pressure compressor 50.
  • Compressor outlet diffusors 55 terminate in the combustion chambers 56, in each of which are arranged a flame tube 57 of conventional construction with a fuel feed line 58.
  • Guide blades 59 and rotor blades 60 of the first turbine stage generally designated by reference numeral 61 adjoin the same.

From there, the air is fed by way of an annular channel 66 sealed off by labyrinth seals to the first turbine stage generally designated by reference numeral 61.
  • Therotor blades 60 of this stage 61 have hollow spaces 67 which are in communication with the blade surface so that the compressed air is able to escape and is able to cool the thermally particularly strongly stressed turbine blades 60.
  • the heat-absorbing part 68 of a heat-exchanger 69 with closed circulation is arranged in the annular space 64.
  • a line 70 leads from the heat-absorbing part 68 within the area of the compressor outlet diffusor55 to the'heat-releasing part 71 which'gives off heat and is arranged in the bypass channel 62 of the jet engine.
  • a line 72 leads from the heat-transferring part 71 to a circulating pump (not shown) for the cooling medium and from there a further line 73, parallel to the line 70, leads back to the heat-absorbing part 68 of the heatexchanger 69.

  • the heat-absorbing part 68 and the heat-transferring part 71 are arranged in parallelly connected heat-exchanger groups, for example, consisting of pipe coils and uniformly distributed over the circumference of the annular space 64 and the bypass channel 62.
  • the heat-absorbing part 68 of the heatexchanger 69 cools the highly compressed and strongly heated air taken off from the compressor outlet diffusor 55, which flows through the annular space 64.
  • the cooling medium heated up thereby flows through the line 70 to the heat-transferring part 71 of the heat-exchanger 69 and thereby gives off heat to the less strongly compressed and relatively cool air flowing in the bypass channel 62.
  • the cooling medium is again conducted back to the heat-absorbing part 68 by way of the line 73 by means of the circulating pump (not shown).
  • the cooled compressor air flows from the annular space 64 by way of the annular channel 66 into the hollow spaces of the rotor blades 60 of the first turbine stage 61.
  • the air escapes out of the rotor blades 60 by way of openings (not shown) and cools the thermally highly stressed surfaces thereof.
  • the temperature decrease of the highly compressed cooling air achieved by the heat-exchanger of the present invention improves the blade cooling and permits thereby the application of higher pressures and temperatures of the working gases. This leads to a considerable increase of the specific thrust or permits the construction of more lightweight and smaller jet engines.
  • the cooling air may be taken off, instead of from the compressor diffusor as shown in the illustrated embodiment, also directly from a compressor stage. Cooled compressor air may, in case of need, be branched off also for further stages in addition to the first turbine stage, whereas the remaining turbine stage, insofar as necessary, are supplied with uncooled compressor air.
  • the turbine guide blades may also be cooled with uncooled compressor air whereby possibly the rate of air flow of the first stage is slightly increased.
  • the heat-absorbing part 76 is subdivided into parallel pipe lines 81.
  • the compressed air branched off from the compressor for the blade cooling flows through the pipe lines 81 which is indicated by an arrow 82.
  • the heattransferring part 77 subdivided in a similar manner into pipe lines 83 is located in an air stream indicated by an arrow 84 which, for example, is conducted through the bypass.
  • the circulating pump 78 as well as a charging pump 85 are driven in this example by an electric motor 86.
  • the charging pump 85 supplies cooling medium under pressure out of a tank 87 through the lines 88 and 89 into the line 80.
  • the operating pressure is appropriately chosen so high that the boiling temperature of the cooling medium is not attained.
  • a check valve 90 disposed in the line 89 closes after the charging of the circulatory system and thus prevents a return flow of the cooling medium.
  • the charging pump 85 supplies cooling medium to the circulatory system until the minimum pressure is again reached. In this manner, also in case of an occurrence of a leakage place, the operation can be maintained at least for a short period of time.
  • An excess pressure valve 91 is disposed in a line 91 leading from the line 88 to the tank 87 which prevents that the pressure of the supplied cooling medium exceeds a predetermined value.
  • Lines 93 and 94 conduct cooling medium that is discharged out of the bearings 95 and 96 of the circulating pump 78 and of the charging pump 85, respectively, back into the tank 87.
  • a line 97 is connected to the line 79 which branches off into lines 98 and 99 that lead to an equalization tank generally designated by reference numeral 100 and to an excess pressure valve 101, respectively.
  • the equalization tank 100 absorbs against the pressure of an air cushion 102 the excess cooling liquid caused by heat expansion and returns the same again to the circulatory system when the cooling liquid cools off again.
  • the excess pressure valve 101 opens a return line 103, when the permissive operating pressure is exceeded, and thus avoids damages in the installation.
  • a warning installation 104 consists of a pressure-measuring device 105 disposed in the circulatory system which closes the energizing circuit of a warning lamp 106 when the pressure drops below a minimum operating pressure.
  • the illumination of the warning lamp 106 indicates that the cooling circulatory system no longer operates satisfactorily.
  • the fuel supply can be timely throttled thereafter so that an overheating of the turbine is avoided.
  • the operation of the circulating pump can be monitored by a differential pressure-measuring device connected in parallel thereto which in case of a pump damage cases a warning lamp to light up.
